Public understanding of the benefits and safety of innovative technologies, such as SIT and genetic control, can help mitigate resistance and foster community support. Educational initiatives should focus on informing communities about the importance of integrated mosquito management and the role of new technologies in reducing disease transmission. Engaging local stakeholders and involving them in the planning and implementation of mosquito control programs can enhance their effectiveness and sustainability. Public awareness campaigns should also address common misconceptions and provide clear, evidence-based information about the safety and efficacy of new mosquito control methods (Achee et al., 2019). By exploring these future directions, researchers and policymakers can develop more effective and sustainable strategies for controlling mosquito populations and reducing the burden of mosquito-borne diseases. 8 Concluding Remarks The review of innovative physical and mechanical methods for mosquito control has highlighted several promising strategies. Green-fabricated nanoparticles have shown potential as toxic agents against mosquito larvae and as oviposition deterrents, with minimal non-target effects. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and its enhanced versions, such as the Phased Conditional Approach (PCA) and the combination of SIT with the Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT), have demonstrated significant advancements in reducing mosquito populations . Additionally, novel bednet designs, such as the T-LLIN, have improved mosquito trapping and killing efficiency, even in the context of insecticide resistance. Electrostatic coating of insecticides has also been effective in overcoming pyrethroid resistance in mosquitoes. These findings underscore the importance of integrating multiple innovative approaches to achieve effective mosquito control. Innovation in mosquito control is crucial due to the increasing resistance to traditional insecticides and the global spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The development of green-fabricated nanoparticles offers an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, reducing environmental impact and non-target toxicity. The SIT and IIT approaches provide sustainable solutions by reducing reliance on chemical insecticides and minimizing resistance development. The use of electrostatic coatings to enhance insecticide efficacy represents a significant breakthrough in managing resistant mosquito populations. These innovative methods not only improve the effectiveness of mosquito control but also contribute to public health by reducing the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases. Future research should focus on understanding the precise mechanisms of action of green-fabricated nanoparticles and their long-term environmental impacts. Standardizing the chemical composition of botanical products used in nanoparticle synthesis and optimizing production methods for large-scale application are also essential. Further development and field testing of SIT and IIT, particularly in combination, are recommended to refine these techniques and ensure their effectiveness in diverse ecological settings. Additionally, exploring the potential of electrostatic coatings for various insecticide classes and their application in different mosquito control devices could enhance resistance management strategies. Finally, integrating these innovative methods into comprehensive, area-wide integrated pest management programs will be critical for sustainable mosquito control and disease prevention.
